A Good Thriller discussion

Once you and your Book Pal have selected and read your book, post what you thought of the book on this thread. Partners are listed in this thread below. Can't wait to hear about your book choices!

You can go to the original thread Book Pals and click on your partner to see their books and friend them.

** Just a Tip - I like to give my partner at least three books to choose from with one being my top choice. That way they have some freedom as well.


★ ★ IF you have made an attempt to contact your partner with no response, please private message me letting me know so I can work on getting you a new partner for the month. Please give it at least 7 days before posting a comment as not all of our members log in every day. THANK YOU!

Patricia I am not sure how to contact you. Please send me a message!!!

Gopal, I can't send you a message, could you please message me? Thanks!

Yay Autumn and me =) Though I'm an Anne with an E.

I think the best thing is make sure your BOOK PAl is a friend, and you do not have your profile as private.

Then you can fully see their profile and books.

Susan and I are book pals for April and we've chosen books from each other's shelves.

She will be reading Alone by Lisa Gardner

I will be reading Unwanted by Kristina Ohlsson

Denise and I are paired up again! We read the same book last month. Waiting to hear from her!

So sorry, Anne, I was hunched over a tiny notepad in the dark den. I will correct when I get home!!! Anne and I will be reading Birdman by Mo Hayder.

Thanks for the hard work, Autumn.

You beat me to it! :) But I agree, it is fun when you have a buddy reading the same book!

Gopal, I'll be reading The Martian for my April PIFM book. You voted for that book, too!

Oh Gopal! I'm so excited for both of you! If you have a sense of humor, you'll LOVE The Martian. I fell in love with it!

Marty & I will read Frances Fyfield's Perfectly Pure & Good together. I fell in love with Sarah Fortune in Cast the First Stone when she told Di Porteus that clothes are art we wear on our bodies. Now I'm researching Sarah's backstory.

Autumn, who is the author of Heartsick?

Allison wrote: "Autumn, who is the author of Heartsick?"


Allison the author of "Heartsick" is Chelsea Cain! It is a fantastic book! I have read all of her books and she is one of my favorite authors. I hope you enjoy her writing as much as I did!!!! Happy Reading

Sean wrote: "Good book Gerald and Lisa"

I am half way through the book and loving it!

Perfectly Pure & Good arrived today.

Allison wrote: "Autumn, who is the author of Heartsick?"

I am so happy you got in touch with your partner!!! Yes, Lisa got there before I could, Chelsea Cain wrote Heartsick. I look forward to reading more by her!

Thanks Lisa and Autumn, I will definitely check it out x

I've finished my book for April book pal. Susan chose Unwanted by Kristina Ohlsson for me to read. It was a very good criminal procedural mystery and I really enjoyed reading all through the book, but the ending sure let me down. I wasn't expecting it to turn out the way it did. I almost felt like I worked my butt off to read the clues, choose suspects, connect the links...and then...*splat*...who?? what?? It was still a good book so I gave it 3 stars.

I read Birdman by Mo Hayder with Anne. While many people find this book a little over the edge and creepy, I was slightly disappointed. I feel that it did not reach my sick, twisted, ick factor for me. I feel that the book was too long and could have been weeded out some. I will still give Mo Hayder another go, but I only give this book 3 stars.

Uhh ... downgrading him because he wasn't quite sick enough for your taste. I'll have to wait a little while to digest that one. ; 0

Cameron

I'll add my 2 cents to the discussion of Birdman by Mo Hayder that I read with Autumn. I actually loved it! It had the creepiness factor that I really like. I rated it 4.5 Stars.

My Review

I'll definitely will read the 2nd installment in the Jack Caffery series! What am I talking about - I'll be reading the WHOLE series before year's end. =)

Cameron,

Yes the subject matter was creepy, but "Birdman" wasn't as creepy bad as I wanted him to be - I have to agree with Autumn on this.

After reading authors like Karin Slaughter and Val McDermid, you expect a lot more twisted.
